JucatoEdgy is the time to be edgy04:45
Hobbseehehe04:45
=== Hobbsee doesnt seed things
Jucatobtw, I confirmed a KOrganizer bug in LP. it's a KDE 3.5.5 actually so I put a link to the the KDE bug report04:45
Hobbseeyay :)04:46
Jucatoa fix is already available according to kde bugs. that makes 2 KDE 3.5.5 bugs with fixes already (that didn't make it)04:46
Hobbseethey'll make it into feisty then04:47
Hobbseeand there will always be bugs04:47
Jucatoheheh :)04:47
Jucatothere's also a KWin bug that I already told Tonio about. it was fixed Oct. 10. too bad the patch didn't make it to Edgy :(04:47
=== Jucato is getting that "buggy" feeling again :P
Hobbseeheh04:48
Hobbseemake sure it gets in for next time04:48
Hobbseepatches that you write are also good - ie, so all they have to do is put it in04:49
Jucatohehe I don't write patches yet :P04:49
Hobbseedebdiffs, with the kde patch included :P04:49
Jucatohm.. I though Tonio said the patches would probably be put in -updates?04:49
Hobbseeprobably04:50

Hobbseeyep05:35
Hobbseethe colleague left the company, so dad got the laptop, for being the closest.  oh, and i got the ram :D05:35
Jucatohahah05:35
=== Jucato wished he had a laptop, but wouldn't know what he would use it for...
Hobbseecurrently the house has 5 computers.  or did, as of last night.05:37
JucatoO_O05:37
Hobbseefor three people, that's kinda scary :P05:37
Hobbsee(most of them arent ours)05:37
Jucatohehe05:37
Jucatokinda fun too :)05:37
Hobbseenixternal: ping?05:38
Jucatobtw Hobbsee, is it possible to have Edgy installed and be packaging/developing for Feisty on the same system? maybe Feisty on a separate partition?05:38
HobbseeJucato: sure.  dual, or tripple boot05:38
Hobbseethe only limit on how many OS' you can have is based on hard disk space05:38
Jucatoum.. without having to reboot again and again?05:38
=== Hobbsee routinely tripple boots
Hobbseeer, vmware05:39
Jucatohow about chroot stuff?05:39
Hobbseeof course, if you're building things for feisty, why not just use a pbuilder/chroot?05:39
Hobbseeyou can run X-based apps in the chroot too, if you want05:39
Jucatoah05:39
Jucatook that's what I was looking for :)05:39
nixternalHobbsee: pong05:39
=== Jucato wonders if he could also do pbuilder/chroot for KDE4...
Hobbseenixternal: bug 68521? 05:40
UbugtuMalone bug 68521 in kubuntu-docs "Kubuntu release notes refer to Firefox 2.0 which isn't included" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/6852105:40
HobbseeJucato: er?  i think you misunderstand the idea of a chroot05:40
JucatoHobbsee: I obviously did :)05:40
Hobbsee:P05:40
nixternaldamn05:40
Jucatonvm the rantings of a developer-wannabe...05:40
nixternalshe has a point there, what to do05:40
HobbseeJucato: pbuilder/chroots, to my knowledge, do releases - so you can have a feisty chroot, an edgy chroot, etch chrood, sid chroot, etc05:40
Hobbseenixternal: where are the release notes?05:41
Hobbseenixternal: distributed on the cds?05:41
nixternalhrmm05:41
JucatoKDE Help Center? Kubuntu Documents?05:41
nixternalkubuntu docs yes, so khelpcenter05:41
Hobbseeso you cant change them, obviously.  unless its' in updates, but that's beside the point.  by the time they've updated, they wont be reading the documentation05:43
ajmitchHobbsee: upgraded to feisty?05:51
Hobbseeajmitch: not as yet.  i should though05:51
Hobbsee:P05:51
JucatoHobbsee: feisty's open already?05:53
Hobbseeajmitch: now look waht you've done :P05:53
HobbseeJucato: sure!  now get bugfixing!05:53
Jucatook I'll stay quiet05:53
Jucato:P05:53
Jucatowell it wasn't open yet last night... so...05:54
=== Jucato shrugs and keeps quiet...
HobbseeJucato: it wont be open for a while05:56
HobbseeJucato: and they'll have to build the toolchain first05:56
Jucatothat's why I was asking... (more of a surprised question...)05:56
HobbseeJucato: most people ask that immediately - on the forums too05:59
Hobbseeajmitch: i have an evil idea.06:00
JucatoHobbsee: heh.. well, I'm not like *most* people... I'm weird... :P06:00

two-facewhat compared to debian unstable?11:28
=== hunger admits being too lazy to push it for edgy with the rewrite for upstart on the horizont.
two-faces/what/how/11:29
hungertwo-face: debian has no upstart:-) it uses the tried and true sysv-init.11:29
hungertwo-face: debian can only break one init-script or another... upstart can screw up all of them at the same time;-)11:30
two-facei mean stability11:30
two-faceof the dev version11:30
Tm_TShould be reasonable, though gcc/xorg transitions might hit in time to time.11:30
hungertwo-face: I got 3 or 4 total screwups following edgy. I used to get the same number on debian unstable.11:30
Tm_TRight?11:30
hungertwo-face: debian/unstable release cycles are longer... so there is more time inbetween screwups... some people might call that more stable.11:31
two-facehunger: alright, i'm pondering :p11:31
hungertwo-face: but usually those screwups are pretty easy to fix (in ubuntu and debian), so I am not really worried.11:32
two-facehunger: i'm a debian dev so I can get along with it11:32

Tm_THmm, not sure I did choose right words to describe my meaning.11:34
two-facehunger: so what's better with upstart?11:37
Tm_Tspeed++ atleast.11:40
hungertwo-face: It is a different system.11:40
two-faceok11:40
hungertwo-face: upstart is event-based: It executes scripts in response to events comming in.11:40
two-facealright11:40
hungertwo-face: Events are things like "sytem-started-to-boot" or successful/unsuccessful execution of startup scripts, heartbeat failures, network connections starting to come in, udev, cron, etc.11:41
hungertwo-face: It promises to unify several distinct systems in a classical unix env into one central service. Should make administration somewhat nicer. And it is supposed to speed up system boot, too.11:42

SimeI guess my problem is that it looks too l33t.12:56
JucatoSime: I was just wondering if there would be a sort of wiki page explaining the changes made to media/ and / (hidden-root). So far, there have been no questions in IRC, but there are some in the forums (and in dot.kde)12:57
SimeJucato: I guess I can write one later today. (unless someone else jumps in before me).12:59
JucatoSime: that'd be great! so I'd have something to point to when people ask. right now I point to your blog, but I don't think people would like to see all the discussions there :P01:00
Jucatobtw, I made an ubotu factoid just in case someone asks about it.01:01
Jucato!hidden01:01
ubotuKubuntu Edgy has implemented a new feature that hides most of the filesystem. To view them, go to / (root) and select "Show hidden files" in the View menu. To change which directories are hidden, you can edit "/etc/kubuntu-default-settings/hidden-root" and remove the names of directories you want to make visible again. For more info: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuKDEMedia and http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/223101:01
Jucatoit's !hidden and !hidden-root01:01
imbrandonthey should edit the symlink not the actualy file01:01
imbrandonincase it changes01:01
Jucatoah ok. so edit /.hidden instead?01:02
imbrandonyes01:02
Jucatook I'll edit01:02
Simeit's it the file itself?? and not the symlink?01:02
imbrandonsymlinks are subject to change, and later might be setup in alternatives01:02
imbrandone.g. sudo nano /.hidden01:02
imbrandonso if we cahnge the location of the file its not a big deal01:03
Jucatoah. that's logical :)01:03
Simeok, as long as people don't delete the symlink; It will came back in a later update. The file is a config file though.01:03
imbrandoni plan on adding an alternative option for it in feisty01:03
imbrandonright if they want it blank they should just empty the file, not delete it01:03
imbrandonbut i'm working on right now a laternatives for all the "oposers" to change via "sudo update-alternatives showhidden" etc etc etc via feisty01:04
Jucatolol01:05
Jucato"oposers" :)01:05
Jucatothat'd be great :)01:05
imbrandonno actualy it would suck ass , its a loud minority, those that think they know better by mounting via hand to /mnt not the recomended way via /media01:05
imbrandonbut anyhow i'm not getting into that01:06
Jucatoimbrandon: shoud I add a "do not delete the file" statement, too?01:06
Jucatowell, like I said before, the loudest people are the ones who complain :)01:06
imbrandonJucato, why ? anyone that has a need to edit the file has the understanding to not delete it, thats my whole popint, new users shouldent be editing it01:06
imbrandonJucato, yes and its those that you quickly scold and tell to shut the fuck up01:07
Jucatowell, some people who have had experienced this new feature tell to delete the file01:07
imbrandonthen they are the ones prone to break their system by editing things they need not01:08
imbrandonyou will never teach those people01:08
SimeI think that the complaining will die down quite quickly. I was expecting worse...01:08
Jucatoyeah... anyway I'm leaving the factoid as it is. just edited the part about editing /.hidden01:09
imbrandonactualy i have seen alot of good responses on dot.kde.org, very very very few complain01:09
JucatoSime: actually me too. I'm quite surprised no one has been complaining in IRC yet01:09
imbrandonJucato, why are you suprised, like i said it affects very few people 01:09
Jucatomost of the complaints are coming from imbrandon's favorite online place :)01:09
imbrandona few corner cases01:10
imbrandonexactly, now see why i hate that bane of the internet?01:10
Jucatospecially those who keep on mounting stuff at /mnt :P01:10
Simefor such a big visual change, it has been well received, and understood by most people.01:10
Jucatoor maybe some haven't even noticed... they're probably used to direct "kdesu kate /foo" or "sudo nano /foo"01:10
mhb_Sime: is it documented on the wiki already?01:11
mhb_Sime: some FAQ about it?01:11
imbrandonJucato, and as i have said many times, the way to "fix" the problem is not to tell them how to edit the file or weather to delete it or not, its to fucking inform them MOUNT THE SHIT IN THE RIGHT PLACE :)01:11
imbrandonheheh01:11
mhb_imbrandon: we should provide some FAQ which we could point to01:11
Jucatoimbrandon: yeah. (although I don't know the difference between mounting in /mnt and /media)....01:11
imbrandonmhb a faq about how to mount drives?01:11
Jucatomhb_: Sime said he'd be making a wiki01:11
imbrandonJucato, /mnt is the old old way 01:12
Simemhb_: read the irc backlog (if you've got it :-) )01:12
mhb_imbrandon: no, the other one01:12
mhb_Sime: yeah, but not accessible today01:12
mhb_imbrandon: the thing Sime is making, if I understand correctly01:12
mhb_imbrandon: good then :o)01:13
Sime..unless someone beats me to it. ;-)01:13
Simehint hint01:13
imbrandonmhb , yes i knew what you ment, i was being sarcastic in that i feel its a waiste of time , better spent informing the loud minority of abusers to do things the right way01:13
mhb_imbrandon: if you point the minority to a FAQ you waste even less time01:14
mhb_imbrandon: that's what I meant01:14
Jucatothat's why I made the factoid :P01:14
JucatoI'd hate having to argue/talk abut it01:14
imbrandonmhb that solves nothing, becouse in the long run they will still mount /mnt and complain they have to edit the /.hidden01:14
Jucatobtw, I tested editing /.hidden to show /mnt again, and it works in Amarok's Build Collection. got to remember to reply to that thread...01:15
imbrandonbtw , yea please reply to it telling the user to mount his partition in /media like it should be01:15
imbrandonJucato, ^01:15
imbrandonthats the correct "fix"01:16
Jucatowill do :)01:16
mhb_imbrandon: well they will, but we don't need to repeat 1000times why Kubuntu is like this and like that01:17
imbrandonshort term fix will bite you in the long run, not good, point them to a faq about mounting partitions01:18
mhb_imbrandon: didn't mean the mounting partitions thing but the /.hidden stuff01:19
mhb_imbrandon: before Sime decided to make a page (or so I understood) there was almost nothing about it01:19
mhb_AFAIK01:19
imbrandonmhb .hidden only seems to need to be explained to idiots that comlain about stuff in /mnt thus the "root" of the problem01:19
Jucatomhb_: there was, but in Sime's blog01:19
imbrandonmhb no there are 2 very comprehensive pages about the changes01:20
imbrandonfor those that want the "details" just for the sake of details01:20
imbrandonthose that need it "explained" are becouse they are mounting the wrong way01:20
Jucatoimbrandon: actually another "complaint" about it is implementing/hiding features without informing users, or just plainly hinding things...01:20
imbrandonJucato, so to install digikam by default we need to get every users concent? that makes no sense and is just a gripe Jucato01:21
Jucatoimbrandon: I think what mhb_ is looking for (which I'm probably looking for, too) is a doc that explains why it was done, how it was done, and how to get around it01:21
Jucatoimbrandon: of course not. at least something telling them that this was done. there was no mention of it anywhere in any of the release notes01:22
imbrandonJucato, sure then make one on why libnjb is compiled into amarok in edgy, why digikam is installed by default ..... want me to go on?01:22
Jucatoum... those are probably not as "controversial" or "big" as this one... but ok... I'll stop...01:23
imbrandonJucato, basicly becouse its a non-issue that a few ( 3 or 4 ) users are comlaining about becosue they are doing sometihng wrong, why would a simple change need a pressrelease01:23
imbrandonyes they are, they are just as "contriversial" as any other non-issue01:23
imbrandonit just dosent effect the "moaners" , but you wont beleave how many people bitch about extra libs installed that they dont use01:24
mhb_imbrandon: at least 10+ users complained about it when I asked them in my blog (in Czech)01:24
mhb_imbrandon: I think you're telling everyone to STFU which is not very Ubuntu-ish :o)) (no offence)01:24
imbrandonmhb , nice 10+ out of 12 million plus installs , very very very small percentage, thus my non-issue stance01:24
imbrandoni'm not telling everyone to STFU, i'm telling you to let them know how to fix it the "correct way" not some half baked hot-fix01:25
mhb_imbrandon: point me to a page where it is described which file in /etc you should change for disabling the /.hidden01:25
mhb_imbrandon: please01:25
imbrandonmhb there isnt one, nor there needs to be, point me to a page describing how to get rid of libnjb from amarok becouse i dont have a nomad player01:26
imbrandonsee my point ?01:26
mhb_imbrandon: doesn't affect everyone, thus I can't01:26
mhb_imbrandon: there should be one01:26
imbrandonmhb and .hidden dosent effect everyone either, only those whom mount things wrong01:27
mhb_imbrandon: or like things not hidden01:27
imbrandonsure, then  its simply sudo nano /.hidden, why a faq for one command ?01:27
imbrandoni garentee someone that dosent "like" more libs installed cant run one command01:28
mhb_imbrandon: we should describe why we did this, how we did this and how to get rid of that (and why deleting /.hidden is not a good fix)01:29
mhb_imbrandon: yes, most of that is in Sime's blog, but that's no official doc01:29
imbrandonmhb not really, i dont think its worth the time spent on it, name a good reason ?01:31
mhb_imbrandon: how should I know rm /.hidden is a bad fix?01:31
imbrandonwhy shoudl i explain that any more than including libnjb01:31
imbrandonmhb if you have any reason to rm .hidden then you know that symlinks arent the real file01:32
Jucato"why did we hide the filesystem?"01:32
imbrandonif you dont know that then you should really be thinking about why you need .hidden gone01:32
alleeimbrandon: as long as the .hidden is not to en/disable like dot-file in file dialog and konqueror, it's a usability bug that need to be fixed.  It's not about your/my taste, refering people to command line is not a fix, otherwise you can argue KDE away in favour of the shell ;)01:32
imbrandonallee, it is, "show hidden files"01:32
mhb_allee: it's not a bug, imbrandon is right about that01:33
alleeoh, isn't this for dot-files.01:33
kwwiiahhh, features and power-users01:33
mhb_allee: but he will have to explain it 100 times01:33
imbrandonallee, .hidden and dot files can both be shown01:33
mhb_allee: and he's quite happy about it :o) 01:33
Jucatokwwii: hehehe :)01:33
imbrandonmhb no i wont thats where your wrong, the only ones that ask have another root problem or are trolling is what i'm getting at01:34
imbrandonfix the root problem and ignore the trolls01:34
alleemhb_: explaining it 100 times is no problem ;)  We had/have to do it for sudo still ;)01:34
imbrandonallee, exactly01:34
imbrandonmoins kwwii01:35
mhb_kwwii: hi01:35
kwwiihi mhb_01:36
mhb_imbrandon: if you insist :o) after all,it's your temper, not mine :o)01:36
mhb_imbrandon: I'll write a FAQ for the Czech users at least :o) 01:36
imbrandonmhb :)01:37
imbrandonand i will get back to writing a kcontrol module to edit the .hidden and informing users to MOUNT IN THE CORRECT PLACE01:37
Jucatomhb_: and Sime will still try to write a wiki probably :)01:37
imbrandonfaq == short term , bite you with more questions .... other fixes the issue01:38
Jucatoimbrandon: ooh.. kcontrol module? nice :)01:38

HobbseeMidMark: that's not an error04:53
Simemhb_: it is not very clear where it should go.04:53
HobbseeMidMark: well, what are you meaning is an error?04:53
MidMarkHobbsee: but a friend of mine cannot boot edgy04:53
MidMarkand this is the screenshot with nosplah flag04:53
HobbseeMidMark: that's booted, and dropped into a virtual terminal.04:53
nixternalmoins04:54
=== Hobbsee notes that that's intended behaviour, for a boot with nosplash.
Hobbseeor do you get an X when you boot with nosplash?04:54
Hobbseei didnt think so04:54
MidMarkI don't know04:54
MidMarknosplash should give X or not?04:54
Hobbseeit doesnt usually, last i checked04:54
MidMarkso how can I check for errors during boot?04:55
MidMarkwhich flags?04:55
MidMarkbecause live cd freeze04:55
Hobbseecheck /var/log/syslog04:55
MidMarkhow can I do if it freeze?04:55
Hobbseeand boot in recovery mode04:55
Hobbseeit should automatically get written to.04:55
Hobbseei think alt+a+sys req or something forces it to write to the file04:56
MidMarkrecovery mode=safe graphic?04:56
Hobbseerecovery mode = no graphics04:57
MidMarkI need the parameter that tell me how to boot a live cd but ONLY without splash screen, just to see error04:58
Hobbseeoh, a live cd..04:59
Hobbseeyeah, try safe graphics04:59
MidMarkok04:59
=== Hobbsee keeps forgetting that the cds dont have a diagnostic mode per se, anymore
MidMarkit's a shame that kubuntu doesn't let to just hit ESC and see what is printed by kernel and other stuff05:00
MidMarkit's a painful to understand why it's freezing05:00
jucatoI thought pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 will let you see the boot process, even with USplash running? iirc...05:01
=== Hobbsee beds
Hobbseejucato: not anymore, particualrly05:01
jucatonight Hobbsee!05:01
jucatoaw...05:01
jucato:(05:01
Hobbseeand there is something that gives a semi-verbose mode05:01
Hobbseeor something05:01
=== Hobbsee doesnt remember at this time of night
MidMarkok thanx05:01
mhb_Sime: do you have it ready?05:02
Simemhb_: I was working on it. :)05:02
mhb_Sime: the wiki page, I mean05:02
SimeI was writing the text here first.05:02
mhb_Sime: oh, ok05:03
MidMarkbuys how can I check errors printed on boot if boot freeze?05:09
mhb_MidMark: if you boot the Recovery mode you should see them right away05:11
MidMarkI'm in a live cd, what is revocery mode for you?05:12
MidMarksafe graphics?05:12
mhb_one moment05:13
mhb_MidMark: not safe graphics05:21
MidMarkso what?05:21
MidMarkhow can I access to recovery mode?05:22
mhb_MidMark: got it :o)05:23
mhb_MidMark: choose other options05:23
mhb_MidMark: F6 I think05:23
MidMarkok05:23
mhb_MidMark: then remove the "quiet" option and the "splash" option and add "nosplash"05:24
Simehttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHiddenFiles05:24
Simemhb_: ping05:24
mhb_Sime: great, thanks05:24
mhb_Sime: I appreciate both the fix and the wiki05:24
MidMarkthx05:25
mhb_Sime: someone noted that this may not be in accordance with the FHS ... was that problem resolved?05:26
Simemhb_: why would it be a problem? having a file in / ?05:27
imbrandonhum anyone know whom John Tapsell is ?05:27
mhb_Sime: I think it was fdoving ... yes, having a "special" file in /05:27
mhb_Sime: quote: " Applications must never create or require special files or subdirectories in05:28
mhb_enough flexibility for any package.05:28
mhb_"05:28
mhb_the root directory. Other locations in the FHS hierarchy provide more than05:28
mhb_and sorry about the "\n"s05:28
Simemhb_: I don't think the FHS applies to this case.05:28
imbrandonthat was solved when it moved to /etc/ and symlinked wasent it05:28
mhb_imbrandon: well symlink is a "special" file, AFAIK05:29
SimeI don't think the FHS people has this in mind when they thought that rule up.05:29
Simeit is not created by an application either.05:29
Simenor is it required.05:29
Jucatobut aren't there also a vmlinuz and a initrd.img symlink in /05:30
Simecan someone link that page in somewhere.05:30
mhb_Sime: dpkg can be considered an application :o) 05:30
SimeJucato: yeah, I saw that too. :-/05:30
mhb_Sime: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.txt.gz05:30
JucatoSime: is it ok if I use that wiki for the bot factoid?05:31
mhb_Sime: but I agree, it's no big deal05:31
SimeJucato: doesn't worry me.05:31
Jucato!hidden05:33
ubotuKubuntu Edgy has implemented a new feature that hides most of the filesystem. For more information: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHiddenFiles05:33

fdovinggah.. another bug with the .hidden stuff.06:02
Jucato??06:02
Simefdoving: what's up?06:02
Jucatowhat's the bug this time? :)06:03
fdovingSime: open the konq in file manager mode, press F9 to get the sidebar choose root directory (red folder)06:03
fdovingeven with hidden files shown you will only have /home and /media in the directory tree.06:04
fdovingthat sucks.06:04
Jucatoer yeah...06:04
Jucatoconfirmed06:04
Simeyeah, konq sidebar doesn't understand hidden.06:05
fdovingi must admit this feature is not on my top 10 features in edgy list.06:05
Jucatobtw, CD icons on the desktop no longer show the name/label of the CD, just cdrom0 or cdrom106:06
Jucatodunno if that's a feature or a bug...06:06
fdovingSime: I edited the https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHiddenFiles page a little. Added GTK section + small fixes, don't know if all are to the better. please take a look.06:07
Simelooks fine06:08
Jucato(that borker guy is making a lot of noise about this...)06:09
fdovingI can only agree with people complaining about this feature.06:11
Jucatoexcuse me Sime, I'm just curious if Launch Feedback was accidentally left out of System Settings?06:11
Simeyou'll have to ask El about that.06:12
Jucatoah ok06:12
Jucatodang she just left...06:12
mhb_MidMark: I'll take a look06:16
MidMarkmhb_: thanx a lot06:17
mhb_MidMark: hm, so kernel booted fine ...06:18
mhb_MidMark: did you check the CD for errors?06:18
MidMarkno I can check06:18
mhb_MidMark: /etc/rc.local should be empty, at least it's empty on the installed Kubuntu system06:19
MidMarkand on live cd?06:19
mhb_MidMark: I guess as well, this is a weird freeze point, better check the CD first06:20
MidMarkok06:22
MidMarkmhb_: pressing enter after the rc.local it shows the command prompt06:31
MidMarkX problem?06:32
MidMarknow I'm checking the cd06:32
mhb_MidMark: could be an X problem06:32
MidMarkthen starting with startx will show the errors?06:35

Pupeno_Sorry for the off-topic, but doesn't anybody know of a workarround to install on a reiserfs partition using Kubuntu Edgy (Dapper just worked) ? I've created the partitions by hand (cfdisk) but choosing to install in them makes the install complaint about "No root filesystem".07:12
fdovingare you using the alternate cd? 07:17
Pupeno_fdoving: no.07:24
fdovingnot sure if installing to reiser is supported by the live/desktop cd.07:25
Pupeno_fdoving: I know it isn't, but the limitation is due to be able to make the partitions, not being unable to mount them or copy files into it. I have already made the partitions and the filesystem by hand, the installer refuses to install.07:26
Pupeno_Dapper just worked there.07:27
nixternalfirefox front page bug 6568507:30
UbugtuMalone bug 65685 in kubuntu-docs ""About Kubuntu" missing "wonderful-linux.html"" [Medium,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/6568507:30
nixternalthat isn't a kubuntu-docs issue, that is an /etc/alternatives issue07:30
nixternalwhat package deals with the etc/alt and the firefox homepage?07:31
nixternalnm, found it07:43
fdovingkubuntu-docs :)07:43
nixternaleasiest fix would be to create a link in the ubuntu-artwork/home directory to the wonderful-linux.html file in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/ direcotry07:49
=== Ingmar^ [n=ingmar@d51A4857B.access.telenet.be] has joined #kubuntu-devel
fdovingisn't it easier to change the url in the postinst script to file:///usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/index.html ? 07:57
nixternalthat is how it should be07:57
fdovinglrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 2006-10-27 00:55 firefox-homepage -> /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/index.html07:58
fdovingin my /etc/alternatives07:58
fdovingah.08:03
nixternalya08:03
fdovingnow i understand.08:03
nixternalhehe08:03
nixternalit took me a second as well...08:04
nixternalbut if there is going to be links, there needs to either be more than 1, or they set the homepage to read directly from the doc dir08:04
=== lnxkde [n=lnxkde@206.248.117.35] has joined #kubuntu-devel
nixternalthe 2 pita bugs have been linked to /etc/alternatives (usplash and firefox homepage)...that is part of the reason i can't stand /etc/alternatives..it is turning into a nightmare08:05
fdovingrelative links will break this way.08:05
fdovingthere is also a hackish alternative, i tend to use when i make homepages. forwarding with html-refresh.08:06
nixternalactually, the firefox package probably has a file that sets the homepage to /etc/alternatives08:06
nixternalthat would be a simple "hackish" fix for sure08:07
=== orkid__ [n=orkid__@74.13.30.153] has joined #kubuntu-devel
fdovingnixternal: example; http://ubuntu.lnix.net/misc/ffhelp.html.txt08:14
nixternalya08:14
fdovingi think that is as good as symlinking the whole dir.08:15
nixternalwell symlinking the whole directory causes the pages to open, but there is no formatting to them08:16
nixternalso symlinking the entire directory fixes the 404 error, but there is no formatting at all from the css files08:16
=== fdoving votes for the hackish version.
nixternali will leave that one up to Riddell08:17
fdovingadding it to the package as redirect.html or something. and then link file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html to it, instead of /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/about-kubuntu/index.html08:18
nixternalthat would be easy to do08:18
nixternaland would be the way i would fix this now for edgy, and worry about a "real" fix for feisty08:19
nixternalwhich we are already planning on a total documentation rewrite08:19
fdovingand it would work. No need to make symlink-mania.08:19
